England Chooses to Bowl in Pivotal Third ODI Against Australia

England won the toss and opted to bowl first under an overcast sky in the third One-Day International against Australia, seeking to secure the five-match series on Tuesday.

Australia has been dominant, securing wins in Southampton and Leeds to take a 2-0 lead and extending its winning run to 14 matches in the 50-over format.

The Australians, however, will be without two key players—opener Travis Head and spinner Adam Zampa. Cameron Green and Sean Abbott have been brought in as replacements, and Captain Mitchell Marsh will open in Head's absence.

England has made changes too, recalling Jofra Archer, who was rested for the second ODI. Olly Stone will sit out to make room for Archer's return.

___ Teams: England: Ben Duckett, Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Harry Brook (c), Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, and Matthew Potts.

Australia: Matt Short, Mitchell Marsh (c), Steven Smith, Cameron Green, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood.
